TO-,lay's Proceedings OF Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5, 1887.
SENATE.
Among the papers submitted to the SEM
ate to day was communication from the
Secretary Of the Navy, with report of LIT.
E Il. Taunt, U. S. navy, of his six months
journey en- the Congo river, together with
articles, ornaments and coins collected by
him.
The Senate at an early hour proceeded to
consider pension bills on the calendar, and
sixty six were passed.
HOUSE.
The Speaker laid before the House mes.
sage from the President returning, without
his approval, bill granting pension to
Cuthnert Stone. In his veto message the
President states that the army records show
that the claimant spent most of his term OF
enlistment in desertion or in imprisonment
for desertion. Thus" Gays the President,
sis exhibited the long and faithful service
and high character of the claimant men
toned by the committee as emitting him to
consideration"
In yetoing the bill granting pension to
Abraham T. Grigg, the President quotes
from tho hospital records to show that the
claimant was not sick but completely
worthless, obese and lazy" The President
does not regard it as strange that this
claimant, encouraged by the ease with
which special acts are passed, seeks relief
by such means twenty years after his claim
had been rejected by the pension bureau.
The President also sent in messages Veto
ing five other bills granting pensions to FIVE
other parties on the ground principally that
their claims are still pending in the pension
bureau.
The messages were referred to the COM
mittee on invalid pensions.
The Speaker laid before the House the
Senate bill for the refund of the district
taxes, and it was referred to the committee

Handling California Wheat.

In no country in the world can wheat
be handled as cheaply as in California.
During the harvest season there is no pos
sibility of rain, and the wheat is put
into burlap bags and stacked up in the
field until the farmer is ready to ship.
When sent to San Francisco it lies on the
wharf until a ship is ready to take it on
board No shelter is needed, and there
are no elevator charge, the bags being
placed on board ship just as they come
from the fields In addition to the profit
resulting from cheap handling, the own
er has his profits considerably increased
by the gain in weight made on the voy-
age to Liverpool. When the wheat leaves
California it is dry as tinder, and in ex-
actly the condition to absorb the mois-
ture of the sea air; and, consequently,
on its arrival III England a cargo of wheat
will be heavier by many thousand pounds
than when it left California. Wheat is
never shipped in bulk, but always in
bags, as when loaded in bulk it is about
the most dangerous cargo a ship can car
ry. No matter how lightly it may be
packed at first, it settles considerably
within a short time, and then it is very
liable to shift. When shifting takes
place a ship is as good as lost, as the
change in the center Of gravity throws
her on her beam ends, and she is nearly
certain to 90 to the bottom in the first
moderate gale. Many ships were lost in
this way, and now the shipment of grain
in bulk is prohibited by law.-[Globe-'
